# Banning Players From Your Server

Learn how to ban players from your Nodecraft hosted Day of Dragons server.

Day of Dragons offers a way to ban troublesome players from your server.

## Ban Players With NodePanel

As the official server hosting provider for Day of Dragons, our panel provides lots of useful features for Day of Dragons server admins. This includes an easy to use UI to ban players from your server.

- Stop the server. For changes to be saved the server **must** be offline.
- Open the "Players" menu and click on the "Banned Users" tab to open the interface
- Search for the player you wish to ban from the server. You can use their Steam community profile name, or their SteamID.

- Once you're done adding players to ban, hit the "Save" button to save changes.
- Start the server again.

## Ban Players Manually

- Stop the server.
- Open the `/Dragons/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini` file. This file path may be different if you're running the server under another operating system.
- The file will look somewhat like this:

```
[/Game/Dev/Libraries/Classes/Runtime/DragonsGameInstance.DragonsGameInstance_C]
iServerMaxPlayers=20
bServerUseJoinList=false
sServerBanList=Steam64ID
```

- Add additional `sServerBanList` lines to the file for every Steam64ID you want to ban. You can lookup their ID using a tool like [steamid.net](https://steamid.net).
- Here's an example if you wanted to ban 2 users from the server:

```
[/Game/Dev/Libraries/Classes/Runtime/DragonsGameInstance.DragonsGameInstance_C]
iServerMaxPlayers=20
bServerUseJoinList=false
sServerBanList=76561198047699606
sServerBanList=76561198157725231
```
